It's no secret that Las Vegas Golden Knights have had an up-and-down season, and that trend has continued now that starting goalie Robin Lehner was sent home after an undisclosed injury. The only word the team would offer was that it had nothing to do with the previous injury to his lower body. Lehner was sent home ahead of the Golden Knights' game against the Buffalo Sabres. This marks the second time in just over a month that the veteran goaltender has fallen victim to an untimely injury.

Coach Pete Deboer stated that Lehner would be sent home for further evaluation on his undisclosed injury, putting the Golden Knights in a very interesting situation. This is because their only suitable backups are Laurent Brossoit and Logan Thompson, who are not nearly the caliber of goalie that Lehner is. What makes this worse is that they are heading down the final stretch of the season and could probably use Lehner's net-keeping skills.
